If the sound before the stop sequence is '''l''' or '''r''', nothing happens and assimilations are normal. If the sound is a sibilant (note that they cannot precede voiced stops), assimilations are normal except for any sibilant + -'''çp'''- which becomes -'''sp'''-; in the other clusters where the stop or affricate would become a sibilant (-''çṭ''-, -''çk''-, -''cṭ''-, and -''ck''-) the preceding vowel undergoes synchronic lengthening if possible. | If the sound before the stop sequence is '''l''' or '''r''', nothing happens and assimilations are normal.
